LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1838. The feeling which is growing up between the tithe owners and4apd otters of England may be inferred from the following feCter, Which we copy as a corroboration of the assertions we 1 / 4 ave twice made on the subject : TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES, AND TO ALL THE BENE FICED CLERGY OF ENGLAND AND WALES. It is my intention to appeal to the Court of Queen's Bench against the poor-rat"..s of the parish of which I am incumbent, if the tithe or tithe renLeharge shall be assessed, as by the existent rate, in the new rate alsout to be granted. Mr. Shaw Lefevre was informed of this by letter before the bringing in of his Bill (by misnomer yclep'd a declaratory Bill), and if I may trust to the assurance of my agent, Mr. James Dean, a land surveyor, of Tottenham, the Hon. Member declared to him, " That he would not follow up his notice of motion for leave bring in this his (iniquitous and preventive) Bill, if I would engage to carry my appeal to the Queen's Bench." On this I wrote to Mr. Lefevre, that " I would do so if the grievance was continued, but not so if it should be abated, nor if I was to be deterred by this declaratory Act, or by any previous new de eision of the Courts " The Parochial Assessment Act was intended, or was not Intended, to leave the law untouched for the relative rating fir land and tithes. If the law and decisions on the law be the same as before the late Act, why prevent appeals to the Court ? But if thu Parochial Assessment Act did iniquitously, (that is unequally) alter the proportionate rating of lands and tithes, and other rateable matter of profit, it did so surreptitiously, not openly, or why were this Bill rif open and partial excising of tithe incomes alone now necessary. The " Attorney-General" may escape this dpernica if he can by his " satisfactory" legislation on the point. To account fur a very general oppression of the tithe-owner by the overseers, it is only necessary that we note, that landlords make the laws, and lAndloids and their tenants and farmers have regulated the rating, both before and since the new assessment act came into operation. " Truth lies scattered in the street, and equity cannot enter." I am, Sir, and reverend brethren, your obedient servant, THE INCUMBENT OF SHENLEY, HERTFORDSHIRE. Our readers will remember that we have mentioned that Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL'S name is on the back of the Bill, as well as that of Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE ; and it will be balm to them, as it is to us, to find the clergy stigma tizing a Bill as iniquitous, which that defender of all that is abuse in the Church supports. The Rev. Mr. JONES has also spoken of it as an iniquitous measure, intended for the advantage of those by whom it is supported. When their own selfish. interest is touched, our Clergy appear in the light of great moral teachers, and indignantly rebuke the legislative chicanery which would despoil the hard working and under-paid Clergy cf a part of their incomes for the advantage of landlords, whose rent is the reward of no services whatever. If they be " ambassadors of heaven," as the Bishop of LONDON styles them in his Coronation Ser mon, bearing its messages to earthly Sovereigns, and de flouncing wicked doers, what a pity it is for their as- Burned character that they have never denounced the Corn Laws, or the Sugar Bounties, or the Coal monopoly, or any other of the scandalous Acts of the Legislature, which plunder the hard working artizans. What a pity it is they Lave never assumed these lofty functions tilt the hand of the land-owner was thrust, as they say, into their own pocket. Worldy men will not s:eruple to affirm that their more.' indignation is altogether founded, en their own selfish ness, and that they never said a . ort;rd against the Corn laws, 'because they bcnefitted by that iniquity, and they condemn Mr. LErEvces 81, only because it touches them selves: They, it is trty.,, are the Guardians of the Poor— they constitute the, poor man's Church ; but, under the term " poor" thr..y consider only the Clergy, and to the exclu six ruse of that body of men they devote all the wealth of the Church, and all which they can grasp. The qu err, Is already arising bJwcrn the two classes who are (uric:lied by taxing the people's bread is an indi emit n of what will lic:eAer nos from the commutation of tithes Act. As long or, the oceupir r paid the tithes, and had to battle it out the titheowner, although tithes may ultimately de.baction from rent, which is not always the cafe, to the full amount of the tithes, the landlords were collision with the titheowners. The tithes never cov,ared to belong to them, hut under the Commutation A ct , th e rroou n t of them will be p lid into their hands ; the tithe -rent will mull their account at their bankers ;it will be in their possession ; and they will be male to feel that thus titheowncrs take away so much propcily wh i ch, for a women!, at least, w as theirs. Twice per year will they he runindc.l of the large de luction which is made from their income by the Clergy. On them = exclusivtly will appear to fall the whole weight of the establishment ; and it' they promote an iniquitous measure to abate five per ctrl. of the burden, will they ab stain from promoting an iniquitous measure which wail re move it I,lltogctlur? Their conduct es to the Corn Laws is a full anscr',r to the question. Why should they, who plun tict aP • . ei•orl:ing elds!cs by law, beagle at plundeitng Ine tithe own et by ;be same mewls? They lily find pLnty tf rr..o - sts in the improv.!niect of e.:riLultnre. Box, too, cm .heir con relerates in wrong complain or having the same measure desk r. ut to them, which they have silently t!otisted to the landlords dealing out to ;,he wolliingclas:Ts? Ere a few years have elapsed, the tithe-owning eh'rgy will bittvrly regret their silence as to the Cot n-law plunder, and that they never denounced robbery by law till it threitecett tl cm sdves. We arc remindel by this di,pnte of the wisdo:n of Sir R. PEEL, who found out in a debate on the Irish Tithe ceation, that the funds are a far better security for the tithe-owners' revenue than land. We think the Right Bon. Baronet did not vote the other evening on Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE'S Bill ; at any rate, he did not sup port his chum, Mr. GOULBURN, by hi s s p eec h ; but we do not see how, with his plausible moral character, his great attachment to the Church I and his horror of appropriation , he C.. 1.1 r:fuse his powerful aid to the Rev. Mr. JuNts and the Clergy in re sisting the beginning of the landlord's encroachments n the titheowners' property. Sir Rotstat, hem3Ver, is a landowner himself, and we shall soon see whether his hatred of appropriation is so great when he is to share its ftdrawE tam's. When he made the declaration we have a,llutted to, he no doubt had in his view the disposition of the Irish landlords ; and the disposition now evinced by the f'.nglith landlord confirms his sagacity, and will soon make the Clergy think the 3 per cents. better security for their rent charge than the landowner-' estates. By referring to a corresponderttelA will be found in anothe r part of Mc Stot) tinder the head " New Poor-law Bill and the Zqattenal Loan Fund Life Assurance Society," cur readers will be gratified to find that the Board of Guar dians of the Blything Union, Suffolk, have had the good sense to perceive, and the candour to acknowledge, the great benefits which the National Loan Fund Society is capable of conferring upon the industrious work ing classes, over and above those of any similar Institution ever before established. When the least thinking portion of the public shall have seen a body of intelligent men, whose interest it is to diminkh as much as possible the burden of a local poor-rate, thus bear testimony to the superior efficacy of a project expressly in tended to better the moral and physical condition of the labouring classes, we may rationally anticipate that even they will be led to give it all the support of which they are capable. In this view of the question the comspondenec to which we direct attentio n is of the first importance. It will stimulate ingri - ry, and' quicken the exertions of the truly benevolent. The Guardians of other Unions are, to our own knowledge, engaged in ascertain'ng to what extent it may be desirable to support, by their influence and example, the establishment of branches of an Insti tution which they begin to be persuaded might be rendered more effective for the diminution of poor-rates, and the dif fusion of ennobling principles among the industrious poor, than all the measures which have engaged the attention of Parliament since the passing of the Reform Bill. We already know the conclusion at which, guided by good sense, and an earnest desire to benefit the community ge nerally, they must arrive. Wherever Boards of Guardians understand the principles upon which the Loan Fund So ciety is founded, and have a proper regard to the discharge of the functions entrusted to them, there will the Society be sure to meet with every encouragement. We insert to-day, on the principle of hearing both sides, a letter signed " OBSERVER," impugning the Sale of Beer Act. We took, and still take, very different views from OB SERVER, and we must inform him, that to make out a case against the Beer-houses something more is required than vague charges about their causing crime. It is well known that the character generally of the people has very much improved within a few years, and though we will not affirm that the Beer-shops have contributedto that, yet, believing with Mr. HAWES that crimes, and particularly violent crimes, have decreased, we never can admit on unsupported assertions that the Beer-shops have had the least injurious effect on the conduct and character of the people. The Mails on Railways Bill goes into Committee to-night. It was committed pro forma on Friday last, in order that it might be printed, as it is proposed to be altered. The principal alterations are the omission of the 6th, 11th, Lath and 13th clauses, and the insertion of two new ones. The 6th clause empowered the Postmaster-General, or his Deputy, to reject the engines and carriages provided by the Railway Companies if he disapproved of them, and to order others to be substituted in their place. The other clauses omitted are those which established the:right of the Post-office to run its own engines and carriages on the railways, to have free access at all times along the lines, and to com mand the assistance and co-operation of the servants of the Companies, as well as the use of their machinery when necessary, due remuneration being given, on the award of arbitrators, for such services, &c., including wear and tear of railroad. By the first of the additional clauses it is provided that after a contract has existed for three years, aay Railway Company who may consider themselves aggrieved by the terms of the contract, may have it referred to arbitrators to determine whether any and what alteration ought to be made in it, the arbitration to be conducted as in the case of i r an original agreement. The other additional clause enacts, that in all cases of reference, the Postmaster-General, or the Railway Company, shall nominate an arbiter within fourteen days after notice from the other party, in default of which it shall be lawful for r the party giving notice to name the other arbiter also,and the arbitrators shall make their award within twenty-eight days after their appointment, or otherwise the umpire shall decide ; and if he refuse or neglect to make his award within twenty-eight days after the matter has been referred to him, then a new umpire shall be chosen as before, who if he refuse or neglect to act, shall in his turn be super seded by another, and so on ad infinitum. Besides these alterations there are provisions introduced into some of the clauses which have the effect of limiting the powers given to the Post-office in the original Bill. On the whole Railway Companies have good reason, whatever the public have, to be satisfied with the Bill as it nowstands.: There is however one great omission in it, which we trust will be supplied in Committee. It ought to have been laid down as a fixed principle, that the cost of constructing and re pairing the railway should not enter into the calculation of the arbitrators, in awarding remuneration to the Compa nies for conveying the mails. Mr. CROKER has led the Tories into a sad scrape. The public prejudice which he sought to direct against SOULT has turned to the manifest injury of his friends. Neither the Post nor the Times has of late said one word shout his grand vindication of the national honour at the battle of Toulouse, because all the attempts of the Tories to make the people look coldly on the old Marshal have only kindled and strengthened the enthusiasm in his favour. The Duke of WELLING TON,WhO refused to make himself a sharer in their con temptible malice, and who has sct a noble example of doing honour to his brother veteran, has naturalls (or this been subject to Tory abuse. A Sunday paper, which is all on fire with Tory zeal, yesterday talked of his twaddling at the City feast, and m dieiously quoted POPE'S line to assure the party that the Tories must no longer rely on the Duke, down whose checks, ac cording to the Tory, "the tears of dotage flow." In the House of Lords his followers slight him, and in the Press his party ridicules hint, hrcause he aid not lend himself to their insane projects of fostering national enmity, and ex citing foreig❑ Powers to attack the Government. We have receird a file of the Jamaica Dispatch to the 2d of June, inclusive, from which we learn that on the 13th or May a slayer under Portuguese colours went ashore on the Pedro Shoals, when two hundred and ninety , nine human beings, shackled together, m'serably perished! The Captain and crew, together with five Africans, escaped, without affording tl:e live cargo the remotest chance cf saving their lives. Two 13riti3h vessels, the Nimrod and , the Hor ne t, sa i' e d to discover the wrAtk on the 9 2d, but returned • after five days' Eearch, w i t h out meeting with any traces of it. The facts, however, were placed beyond dis pute by the arrival of the Captain and crew of the slaver at Black River cn the 18th of May, when a clear state ment of the circumstances connectA with the lost vcs.:el, latr cargo, and the wreck was duly elicited. The same journal quotes from the Royal Gaz e tt e o f Nassau (N.

When Lord littotrottAg pro posed to treat all slavers as pirates, we remember expressing a hope that A u c h a ttloastire would be found quite unneces -5:0-,v, and that we wera nat altogether satisfied with the proofs then adduced of the expediency of having recourse to a remedy so fraught with deadly violence. But the events that have since taken place in the East and West Indi s, have removed all our doubts, and satisfied all our scruples upon that head. We new see that nothing but the strong arm of avengin g power will succeed in putzirg an end to inhuman and murderous traffic. The whole of the Parrs Journals of Fiday and Saturby have been received, but their contents are of no political importance. Among the Journals of every shade of opinion, nothing is discussed but the relative importance of the labours of the Parliamentary Session, which closed on Thursdly. The following extracts from them include a7l the noes they bring of any general interest : The Garde National de Marseille of the 10th inst. states that Baron de Barante, the French Ambassador at the Court of Russia, had arrived in Marseilles on the 9th, and was to embark on the 11th for Greece and 'Constantinople on board the steam-packet Scsostris. The Memorial des Pip enees of the 10th inst. states, that on the 25th ult. a party of Carlists entered the French territory, and carried away from the districts of St. Michael and the Foundry SOO sheep, several cows, and a large quantity of cheese, and took off' with them two shepherds, for whose liberation they demanded a considerable ransom. The Phare de Bayonne of the same date mentions another. violation of the French territory, committed on the 4th instant, near St. Jean PiAl de Port, where the Carlists likewise seized on all the cattle they could tied, and robbed the shepherds of their money. The battalion of the 10th Regiment of Light Infantry, in garrison at St. Jean Pied de Port, immediately marched out, under the command of General Chatry Lafosse, and proceeded to Arnegui. A commission coining from Bayonne with a sum of 40,030 francs in gold, intended, it is said, for the Carlists, was stopped on Friday evening in the Forest of St. Free, by three men whose faces were blackened, and who, after having beaten him, took away the money. The Madrid papers of the 7th instant, announce the departure of many of the leading political characters of the Chambers from that capital, and among others that of M. Mendizabal for Lisbon. Before leaving Madrid this gentleman solicited and obtained an interview of the Queen Regent, in which he assured her Majesty of his continued de votion to the caus2 of her daughter and herself. It was rumoured that many of these departures were caused by the apprehension that the Government intended to act with some severity against the liberal clubs, and that political prosecutions were likely to be set on foot. Great hopes are said to be placed on the success of M. Remisa's mission to Paris on the business of the loan. The King of Sardinia has published a new Conscription Law, in virtue of which every Sardinian subject is obliged to serve eight years in the regular army, or thirteen years in the provincial cavalry, and sixteen in the provincial infantry. _ _ M. De Boutenieff, the Russian Ambassador to the Sublime Porte, ar rived at Berlin on the 9th instant. The Emperor of Russia was ex pected on the 15th in that capital on his way to Silesia. The Infante Don Francisco de Paula has been permitted by the French Government to take up his residence at Paris. The Helvetie of the 10th inst. states, that the Diet had decreed, on the 7th, that a new Landsgemeine should be held in the canton of Schweitz, under the protection of the federal commissioners, for the purpose of electing the cantonal authorities. The magistrates in office on the 6th of May are to preside over the assembly, which is to take place on the 22d at latest. All decisions and measures adopted by the Government of Schweitz in opposition to the instructions of the federal envoys, were declared null and void. A letter of the Sth instant, from Logrono, published in the Con stitutionnel, states that the Christino forces which are to besiege Es. tella will be commanded by General Van Halen, who has made several reconnoissances in the valley of Solana. The besieging army will con sist of forty battalions of infantry, and twenty squadrons of cavalry. The Carlist General, Maroto, had arrived at Estella with 6,000 men, and the total force under his command is said to be 15,000 or 17,000 strong. A sanguinary and decisive affair was, therefore, expected. • FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, JULY 14. LATEST PRICES, Five per Cents. 111 f. 50c. Three per Cents., 80f. 90c. Bank Actions, 2,5J5f. Romans, 102.

Madrid Papers of the Sth inst. have reached us, but they bring no intelligence, save what will be found in our ex tracts from the Paris Journals. The Brussels and German Papers received this morning intimate that Prussia has directed a large body of troops to encamp on the Belgian frontier, with a view to co operate with the German Confederation in compelling the adoption of the twenty-four articles. A letter from the Lower Rhine of the sth inst., published in the Allgemeine Zeitung, dwells at considerable length on the consequences of a false step in the prosecution of negotiations which may be said to involve the peace of Europe. Undoubt edly a premature movement on the part of Prussia will not fail to rouse the jealousy of France. By a Royal Rescript of the 25th of June, the King of PRUSSIA has directed the prosecution of the Archbishop of POSEN, for the publication of his Pastoral letter of the 27th of February, on the question of mixed marriages. The Archbishop is said to be greatly affected, by so direct an intimation of his MAJESTY'S displeasure. BRUSELS, JULY 13.—A letter from the province of Limburgh (right bank) has the following paragraph :—The Prussian Government has called out classes of the landwehr of the reserve, (called war reserve) among which are a great number of married men. The first body set out from Aix la Rapelle on Sunday last, but when the other two had left, a great part of the troops which remained marched towards Belgium, Luxemburg, and the province of Liege, marching on the French teri. tory to avoid passing the Rhine.—Journal de Liege. The journal, published at Luxemburg, announces that the 30th Re giment of infantry of the line, now in garrison at Treves, will shortly arrive in the federal fortress. _ _ VIENNA, JULY 6.—The English Ambassador sent, the day before yes terday, a courier to London, with despatches, which are said to relate to the differences between the Porte and Mehemet Ali. The Cabinets of Austria, Russia, England, and France are reported to have declared unanimously in favour of the Porte; and it is probable that serious measures will be adopted against Mehemet, if he persist in his ambitious projects.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of the past week were good of English Wheat and Flour, also of Irish Oats; the quantities of other grain were moderate. The trade during the week was much the same as on the preceding Monday. This morning the fresh supplies of all descriptions of Corn were mode rate. The weather is favourable for the progress of the coming crops. The factors started the market to-day by asking considerably higher prices for Wheat, to which the millers were unwilling to submit; a few sales exceeded last Mouday's currency, but, upon the whole, no advance was obtained on the general qualities. Barley, Beans, and ?ono re. main as last quoted, with little doing. Oats maintain the toc.ns of I his day se'nnight, with a slack demand.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have received Jamaica Papers to the 10th June. We extract the following : The House sat in Committee on the Apprenticeship Abolition Bill' till a very late hour on Thursday evening. Mr. March succeeded after a great deal of opposition and lengthened discussion, in substituting three clauses he had prepared for the occasion in lieu of the original clauses of the Bill. They declare more fully the en tire freedom of the apprentices, and provide for the repealing of all laws relating to the working of the apprenticeship, except such parts as relates to the repeal. big of certain other laws, and also that three months notice should be given to the apprentices before they can be ejected from their domiciles. The opposition of many Members proceeded from the honest motive of not clogging the Bill with unnecessary enactments, but the opposition of Messrs. Jordan and Co. was certainly of a most extraordinary nature, and really did not come with a good grace from them. Mr. Jordan par. ticularly, contended that the negro would be subject to no inconve. nience whatever, by a summary ejectment from his domicile, by the proprietors. ArrEeNooN SITTING.—The abolition of the Apprenticeship Act was read a third time, upon which another discussion took place, and amend ments proposed by Mr. Penton and Mr. Batty. The latter gentleman's having been agreed to, the Bill was passed. The engrossed Bills passed this day were then sent over to their Honours, the Council, by Messrs. Grey, Grossetts, and Jordan. • By the above summary it will be perceived, that the Bill for the en tire abolition of the apprenticeship, has passed through all its stages in the House of Assembly. We have our further fears that the Council will endeavour to render nugatory, the best efforts of the House. The Bill was before the House when the Express left Spanish Town. By our files of Windward Island papers, we learn that at Barbadoes Public meetings bad been held, to 6x a scale of labour, and rate of wages to be adopted under the free system. There was a report prevalent at Harbadoes that the Governor of that island was to remove to the Govern ment of Jamaica, vice Sir Lionel Smith, resigned. Our Sydney papers are to the 16th February, and from them we learn that ten steam-boats are now plying on the coast, and in the waters of Port Jackson. To the present hour we have not a feature worth noticing either in the British or Foreign Markets, the Continental information being of that dull and contradictory description, that the speculators and job. bers are very cautious in. speculating.

The following Address was presented to his Excellency the Governor of Jamaica by the Hon. House of Assembly :- 46 TO ISIS EXCV.LLENEV SIR LIONEL SMITH. May it please your Excellency, sc We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Assembly of Jamaica, thank your Excellency for your speech at the opening of the Session, and we duly appreciate the consideration evinced by your Excellency in convening this General Assembly On the earliest day con sistent with the public weVare to tpeet the present emergency. " On receiving the dispatch alluded to by your Excellency, we shali proceed in the critical posture in which the island is placed to give to the momentous matters submitted to us our most serious consideration. Ja maica does indeed require repose, and weanxiously hope, that should we determine to remove an unnatural servitude, we shall be left in the exercise of our constitutional privileges, to legislate for the benefit of all ciasses without any further Parliamentary interference. s, Th e a pprenticeship was forced on the acceptance of the House as one or the precautionary measures to be adopted in the tr ans i. tin from slavery to freedom, and wes a portion of our compensa tion ; while, therefore, we discuss the propriety of its abolition we neither assures:: the responsibility nor exonerate the public faith." REPLY OF HIS EXCELLENCY. " I receive this your address with great satisfaction, feeling con Ildont that will give a calm and di‘passionate consideration to the ortan t question, upon which you have been specially convened."

THREE O'CLO CK Consols for Account, 651 Till I'4IEIV BARONETS. ~- -v..:_ tgonie f 4 tiricefertion;attsremarkg having appeared in a Morning 1 3 ..ipe1, tut:chili; the resocetahhity of the Coro n.ition Btronetsi we give the following account of them froth an authentic sourcej:— thrl eiI:YELE§ PETER SIIAKERLEY, Of Serri:Ard, in Cheshire, ig a . t sentiBman of great estates in the Palatinate ; ranking, both in degeortt s.hd foffune, antong the very first edtnrnootts in the kingd4nl. ills landed possessions are situated in Cheshire, Lancashire, and London; and he is allied to many tiollle houses. Of his imrtlediate ancestor, the gallant end loyal Sir aeolfrey Shakerley, of Solrerford, a qu-lint and amusing anecdote is told In Pennant's Wales, of the timely and valuable assistance he rendered to his Royal Master at Rowton Heath. The new Baronet, who is cousin to Sir Wt.tkin Wynne, was born 27th of December, 1792, and has been twice married, his fit st.'w ife being Rosalba, daughter of the Duke D'Avaray, and his second, Jessy, daughter of Thcmis Scott, Esq., of Sbeppertott. SIR EDWARD CIEOREIE EARLE Lyrtotit BuLwert, of Knob worth, in Herts, the populgte novelise, whose elevation has been so much and so unfairly commented on, is the youngest son of the late Brigadier-General Bulger, of IJeydon Hall, Norfolk, by Elizabeth-Barbara, his wife, only dauglitar and heir of Richard Warburton Lytton, Est of Knebsvorth Pork. lie thus descends from two very ancient families, with which, in poirit of distinction and public services, fea t if any, of the mushroom Baroness of the palmy days of Tory sarendancy, could presume to olF.r a comparison. The Bulwers have en joyed extensive landed estates (still in their possession) since the Conquest; and the Lyttoos, of equally remote origin, have deserved well of the State, even from.the times of the Plantagenets and Tudors. Sir Robert de Lytton, of Lytton, in Derbyshire, was Comptroller of the Household to Henry IV. ; his son, of the same name, Under Treasurer of the Ex chequer, and his descendant, Sir Rowland Lytton, of Kneh worth, Lieutenant of the county of HertFord, Commander of the forces of that shire at Tilbury, one of its representatives in Parliament in the reigns of Elizabeth and James 1., and Cap tain of the Band of Gentlemen Pensioners to the former Mo narch. _ _ SIR PETER HESEETII FLEETWOOD, of Rosiall Hall, in Lan cashire, whose patronymic is Hesketh, being eldest son of Robert Hesketh, Esq , by Maria, his wife, daughter of Henry Rawlinson, Esq., M. P. for Liverpool, assumed the name of Fleetwood upon inheriting the e.tates of a branch of that an cient family, of which Gen. Fleetwood, so distinguished in the troubled times of Charles. 1., was a member. The Hes keths, from idiom Sir Peter paternally descends, owed their original elevation to military achievements, and they have flourished in the county palatine of Lancashire for more than seven centuries up to the present period, being now in the actual enjoyment of the greater part of the landed property acquired at the commencement of that remote era. Sir Peter was born in 1801, and married in 1826 Eliza Debonnaire, only child of Sir Theophilus John Metcalfe, lint, of Fern Hill, in Berkshire, which lady died in 1833. SIR SAMUEL CROMPTON, of Woodend, near Thirsk, has been in Parliament for nearly twenty years, and is the representative of the Cromptons, of Derby, for more than a century opulent and influential bankers in that town. The family of Crompton was established in Derbyshire, by the Rev. John Crompton, M. A., a pious and able divine, whose devoted attachment to royalty entailed upon him the severest sufferings during the ascendancy of Cromwell. At the pre sent time the Cromptons are widely spread over the Counties of Derby and York, and in the latter shire Sir Samuel's first cousin, Wm. Richard Crompton Stansfeld, Esq., M. P., possesses the beautiful scat of Esholt Priory. The new Ba ron-t merricd in 1829 Miss Cathcart, niece of the gallant Earl Cathcart, and has issue. SIR JOHN FREDERICK WILLIAM HERSCHEL is so WCII known for his splendid scientific attainments, that his name is regarded, by every admirer of genius, as one of the brightest ornaments of the order of Baronet. SIR ROBERT SHAFTO ADAIR, of Flixton llall, Suffolk, an extensive landed proprietor in that county and in Somerset shire, descends from a distinguished lot anch of the ancient Northumbrian House of Shafto, so often recorded in the tra ditions of the border minstrelsy. He succeeded, it may be re membered, a few years since to the lauded possessions of the late Mr. Adair, the army agent, Sir Frederick Roe and Lord Ashburton inheriting the vast personalty of that gentleman. SIR CHARLES DENHAM ORLANDO JEPILSON, Of Mallow Cas tle, in the county of Cork, possesses a large estate there, and represents an ancient family, the Jephsons, of Froyle, in Hampshire, a scion of which, in the 17th century, Sir John Jephson, Knight, M.P. for that county, marrying the daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Norris, the Lord President of Mun ster, acquired with her the Mallow estate, on which the Jeph sons have since resided, maintaining a leading position among the landed proprietors of the sister kingdom, and constantly representing the borough of Mallow in Parliament. SIR RALPH HOWARD, of Bushy Park, in the county of Wicklow, Knight of that shire since 1829, and Co lonel of the Militia, is first cousin to the present Earl of Wicklow, son of the Hon. Hugh Howard, and grandson of the Right Hon. Ralph Howard, who, after rcpre presenting the county of Wicklow for several years in Parlia ment, was elevated to the Peerage in 1778. Sir Ralph Howard, whose sister is married to Sir Honry Parnell's bro ther, wedded, himself, in 1837, to Lady Fanny Cavendish, sister of the Earl of Burlington. SIR JOHN DUNLOP, of Dunlop, in Ayrshire, lately Member of Parliament for that county, elder son of General Dunlop, M. P. of that Ilk, springs from an old Scottish family, which can be traced by authentic evidence to William de Dunlop, living in the reign of Alexander 111. The estate, an exten sive one, which Sir John possesses, has been in the family since 1260. He was born in 1806, and married, in 1829, Lady Harriet Primrose, daughter of the Earl of Rosebery. The late Mrs. Dunlop, of Dunlop, distinguished herself by the patronage she afforded Robert Burns; and to her the Ayr shire Bard has addressed several of his poems. Sir JOHN PETER BOILEAU, of Tacolnestone Hall, Norfolk, is son of John Peter Boileau, the descendant of a respectable French family, by Henrietta, his wife, sister and heir of the late Colonel Augustus Pollen, M. P. for Leominster, whose extensive estates in Surrey, Essex, &c.. have devolved on the Baronet, and his brother, the present Rev. George Pollen Boileau Pollen, of Little Bookham. Sir John married Nov. 14, 1826, Lady Catherine Elliot, daughter of Gilbert, late Earl of Minto, and is thus brother-in-law of the First Lord of the Admiralty. Sir JOHN HENRY SEALE, of Mount Boone, Lieut.-Colonel of the South Devon Militia, and M. P. for Dartmouth since 1832; son and heir of the late John Seale, Esq., High Sheriff of the County in 1797, descends from a family of Seale, originally of Northumberland: about the close of the reign of Elizabeth, Robert Seale, a scion of the Northum brian line, settled in Jersey, and from his only son, Thomas Seale, who married Anne, daughter of Colonel Philip Car teret, Chief Justice of the Island, and Governor of Orgueil Castle, derived John Scale, Esq., for whom was purchased, during his minority, about a hundred years ago, "the goodly heritage" of Mount Boone. SIR DAVID ROCHE, of Caress, in the county of Limerick, and of Barnetick, in Clare, a very opulent proprietor, has un interruptedly represented the great commercial city of Lime rick since the passing of the Reform Bill. His family has long been settled there in high respectability ; and Sir David's grandfather, AlLrman David Roche, was Mayor of Limerick in 1749. SIR BENJAMIN HALL, of Llanover Court, in the county o! Monmouth, possesses very c o n s id er able estates in. that shire and Glamorgan. Th e l a tt er count y, his father, Benjamin Hall, Esq., of Hensel Castle, son of the Rev. B. Bail, Chan cellor of Llandaff, represented for several years; and at his death the noblemen and gentlemen of Glarnorganshire erected a monument to commemorate his services and talents. Sir .11.mjaolin was horn in 1802. and married, in 1823, Augusta, daughter and co-heir of the late Benjamin Waddington, Esq., of Ll:inover. In 1832, he stood a severe contest for Mon mouth against Lord Worcester, and succeeded in defeating the Noble Marquis. Major-General S:r Jamrs Kvar.r.-MoNnv, of Hem House, Herefordshire, Whetham in Wiltshire and Pit:ford, North amptonshire., represents the two ancient houses of Ernie of Whetham, noel Kyrie of Horn House, in boil] of which Bt ronetcies formerly existed. Of the latter family was John " the Man of Ross," so beautifully described by Pope; ;mil of ti r! former, the List male heir, the Right Hon. S r John Ernie, Knt. of Whetharn, wai Chancellor of thct Ex chequer, temp. Charles 11. nod Jsines 11. Sir Times Money married in 1811 Caroline Anne, eldest daughter of Robert Taylor, Esq., of Gloucestmplace, Portman-square. His estates are very extensive. Stn WILLIAM Wortsrs.r, of Hovingham, in Yorkshire, an influential landed proprietor in the. North sod East Ridings, nearly related to • Earls do Grey and Ripon, descends from the old Lancashire family of Wor s t e y of \Vcrsley, of which was Sir James \Vorsley, Knight, who married the heiress of Appuldercombe, in the Isle of Wight, and was ancestor of Sir Richard \Vorsley, of Appul dercombe, who obtained a Baronetcy in 1611. That title ,n -durnd until 1825, vi hen the late Sir Leonard Thomas \Vorslcy Holmes died viithout male issue (see iNlr. Burke's tecently published History of the Extinct and Dnrmant Baronetcies). The new Baronet, sir Wigiam \Vorsley, of Ilovingliam, married in 1827 Sarah Philadelphia, foutth daughter of Sir George Caylcy, Bart., of Brompton, and has seve•al children. SIR BENJAMIN HEYWOOD, of Claremont, near Manchester, the great Lancashire hanker, is probably one of the most opu lent commercial rn-n in England. SIR EAST GEORGE CLAYTON EAST, of Ilalbplacc. in the county of fleas, seeold son of the late Sir William Clayton, P, for Gecat Marlow', by May. his mire, daughter and heir of Sir liana Ea-t, ft,,rt., having inhelited the lands and name of his rnwernal ancestors, hi.: patent may be (I , emcd little more than a revival of that whic:t expired in the East family ia 1826.

Sit CHARLES GRANVILLE STUART MENTEATII, Of Close burn, in Darofriesallire, Viec-Lieutevant of that county, in hich, and in Ayrshire, lie is a great landowner, represents a branch of the old Scottish Earls of Mexteath, springing from a yeunger brother of i'-:exatader, 6CI Earl, Sir John Menteath, of Rushey, to whom history accrihcs the betiayal of Sir Wil liam Wallace.

LITERATURE. EDINBURGH REVIEW—No. CXXX . V.I. Longman, London, 1836. The success of those admirable sketches of the numer-- ous characters who have but lately passed off the stage of life, which appeared in the last number of this Review, seems to have put all its contributors on their mettle, for the present number is admirably written ; the articles well selected . ; And discussed with more than ordinary skill, temper, and eloquence. The first, which is an elaborate notice of a philosophical work that has recently been publishedin France, evinces much subtle and profound thought ; the clos:ng passage, in particular, is charactized by a reflective and impassioned spirit worthy of Burke. In the review of " Sir John Barrow's Life of Earl Howe," a variety of interesting extracts are selected, which place the character of the hero of the " Glorious First of June" in as amiable a light, as the pub lication of his memoirs by his nephew have placed Lord Collingwood. In this notice we find a curious account of the only interview that ever took place between Lord Nel son and the Duke of Wellington, which accordingly we subjoin : Having here incidentally mentioned the Duke of Wellington and Nelson together, it may not be uninteresting to our readers to learn that they met once, and but once, and then by mere accident. The Duke, then Sir Arthur Wellesley, had just returned from his ever memorable campaign in India; but his fame, though high amongst all those who knew anything of the concerns of that remote region, had not yet be ahsibtiot risndpherysiitogpnrootnfity atcoholmteheten:sul print-sellers r l g i i a a n r z t - e t s . o e n the m a s a e n:d s u , o e t a f n r t s l e o y r:n i e - t k t h y e ee features, t sl o t r m o e s e e , x now so familiar to all, were then so little-known--even to Nelson—that, when he found him self one day in the waiting-room of one of the Secretaries of State in coma pany with the great Eastern warrior, he knew him not. It was otherwise with Nelson, whose deeds having been performed nearer home, were far better, or, at all events, more generally known ; and with whose appearance Sir Arthur could not but be well acquainted, even had he had no other help than the signs over the inn doors on hils way from Portsmouth. The natural attraction of genius drew them together— and the Minister whose leisure they were waiting for, being lettig en gaged, these two illustrious men were left in conversation for some time. The news of Sir Robert Calder's action had just been received, and ;his naturally formed a principal topic of their discourse. Sir Arthur We; - -- lesley said to Lord Nelson—" This measure of success won't do now adays—for your Lordship has taught the public to expect something more brilliant." Shortly after this remark Lord Nelson left the wait ing-room, evidently to find out who his new friend was, and, returning in a minute, renewed the conversation on a fresh footing. Nelson had at that time some project for occupying Sardinia, and he wished Sir Arthur to take charge of the troops on the occasion. But he replied that he would rather not—that Ire had just returned from India—ha short, he did not enter into that view. Soon afterwards Lord Nelson sailed—the battle of Trafalgar was fought—and they never met again. " Lady Blessington's Novels" furnishes the Reviewer with an opportunity of starting certain peculiatageories respect ing the proper province of the Novel, in the course of which he bestows high and deserved praise on the fictitious wri tings of Richardson, and a eulogium, surely exaggerated, on that lackadaisical nonsense Goethe's Wherter. Allu ding incidentally to the far-famed " Pilgrim's Progress," he justly observes that ". the spirit which had overthrown the Stuarts is more visible in Bunyan's allegory, than in Milton's " Defence." This is a remark the justice of which none, acquainted with the character of those times, can fail to acknowledge. " Mr. Plumer Ward on the Revolution of 1688," points out in unsparing terms the many fallacies and erroneous opinions contained in a late publication of this inveterate Tory, who, however able and successful as a novelist, appears to be ill calculated to play the part of an historical commentator. " The character of Lord Chatham," is the cleverest and most spirited essay in the Number ; and the comparison instituted between him and his celebrated but overrated son, full of justice. Rightly does the Reviewer say, that the elder Pitt was the first statesman, and most effective orator that this country ever produced. He had, indeed, all the elements of greatness in his composition. Lofty and sagacious in his views ; ardent, energetic, and fearless, but with his ardour and intrepidity ever tinder the guidance of reason ; ambitious, but sot beyond the measure of his capacity, for then ambition becomes the mere sickly dream of self-conceit ; full of manly faith in the resources of his country, and skilful in the art of applying them ; impassioned, and yet terse and argumentative in the quality of his oratory ; an imperiou; master, who exacted the most rigid obedienc,l to his mandates, and never shrunk from any undertaking frons an apprehension of the difficulties that might beset it—Lord Chatham was just the man to rouse the drooping spirit of a nation, to draw forth all its energies, and direct them into the most fitting channel. When be seized the helm of State—for it was to a ll i nten t s end purposes a seizure, the King and the Court disliking, as much as they feared him— he leund England in the most abject state of pros traticn, with a navy that could hardly keep the sea— an undisciplined army and badly officered—France threa tening our coats—and our colonies wavering, discontented, and hopeless of any effective aid from the Legislature. In an incredibly short space of time sill this was chargasd, as if by magic.. We felt that an able steersman was at the helm, and at once flung despondency to the winds. Our navies were triumphant by sea, our armies by land ; we compelled France to dread the power she had so letely threatened, and even to tremble for her own existence and fit that. buoy:lilt confidenee in our own moral, physi cal, and commercial resources wl.ich has never since deserted us : On his accession to effiee, Pitt found the Court and aristocracy ernii'potent, enil the people nothing. What was his instaat course of conduct f'l'o appeal to the good tense and merge}' of the middle classes; to teach them the secret, of which till then they were igeorant, of their own strength, and by their aid—rever more willingly given—to check the influence, and tame tie pride, of the Oligarchy. We look on Chatham as by far the most indupendent, high-minded, and consummate statesman Great Britain ever produced; and are sat i,fieei that l'ges and ages will before we possess such smother.
